June 4

Karen and I made it through the weekend.  The family dinner after the baby blessing took a lot of work to put together.  Thankfully there was a bunch of help from Karen's parents and one of her sisters.  Not to mention everyone that came brought some food and helped clean up.  We took Becca to church without her oxygen and she did fine.  We put her back on it afterwards since the last test showed she occasionally drops below 90 when she is without it.

I was a little worried about how all of the work would affect Karen right before a chemo session.  Fortunately and unfortunately I didn't have to find out.  When Karen had a blood test on Tuesday they found her platelets were low and told her they would postpone the treatment for a week.  Apparently platelets help your blood clot and the doctor would prefer to let her recover.

James has really started to walk a lot in the last week or so.  He is walking faster and I have the feeling he is getting ready to start running.  When we were cleaning out the garage on Saturday he kept carrying brooms around.  He wanted to hold one even when he was having his hair cut.
